~~~(Location: Safe House in Greshina, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 8:30 PM)~~~

I\'ve left Hailey alone, and I\'m now in my room again, and the sounds coming from the living room have gradually died down. Meaning that everyone should be getting ready to go to bed and get plenty of rest for tomorrow. I hear footsteps approaching the door to the bedroom, and it\'s swung open. I\'m met with a smiling Sally.

Knowing her, she\'s dominated in all the games she played. "From that smile on your face, I take it you enjoyed winning all those games." She nods her head with more energy than someone coming to bed should have. The Shattering isn\'t my game, and I don\'t have a problem with that. Besides, getting some time to myself and time to speak with Hailey was more important to me.

Sally plops down beside me on the ground and cuddles the furs and blankets. "Yeah, you should\'ve seen Helda and Terox\'s faces! It\'s the funny thing ever! Melimora smashed the mirror in the bathroom from getting so mad." Wow. Didn\'t know The Shattering could bring out such violence in people. Sally winning every game shows a good mind.

I wrap my arm around her and bring her in close. She lays her head on my chest and takes a deep breath. Exhaling it slowly and getting into a relaxed state. "I was hoping that you\'d come and join the fun, but I can tell that you preferred to stay here." She knows me too well. I\'m to list off reasons why. Just not wanting to do it is enough.

My eyes slowly close, and I find a peace in me that I haven\'t felt in many years. A true calmness that I didn\'t know I could ever have again. "Get some sleep, Sally... I know it\'ll be hard with what we\'re doing tomorrow. I know that I need sleep for some focus." The plan is finished, and we\'ll be playing our roles tomorrow. Sally and I are heading to the Orvello Estate.

Everyone else is heading towards the Palace using the underground passageways. Getting an easy way inside. "Cera... I know it\'s late... But can we please... Y\'know... Do it..." I raise my head in surprise and look down at her. "I need a way to relax my body and mind, and it\'s been a while since we got to have that intimacy..." I didn\'t expect to be asked that.

We had already stopped once since there were people in this house that could hear us. "That depends on if you can be quiet or not. Cause I don\'t want people complaining in the morning." Sally has gained significant confidence over the last day. More than I thought she ever could. Her being so forward with me and not beating around the bush is a good idea.

She slowly crawls up my body until our noses are touching. Her blond elven hair falls on all sides of me like a golden waterfall. "I can\'t make any promises, but I don\'t think I can sleep tonight with it..." She closes the distance between our lips as her whispers end. The gentle connection between our lips meeting is enough to convince me.

My daughters are lost to me... They\'re out of my reach now... My scouts and troops couldn\'t find anything that could put a trail to where they were taken by their captures. The last bit of love in my heart dies with their kidnapping, and now my resolve to purge the impure among our people burns hotter than ever before.

My daughter\'s involvement in my plans was integral, and now that they\'re gone, I have to readjust. The half-breeds and mixed bloods among my people will be culled out starting tomorrow. "My Queen, all the troops and nobles are ready for your orders tomorrow. There is nothing left to prepare for." My military advisor informs me of the state of things.

There are countless things that need to be done when this culling begins, and the blood of the impure and mixed with wash away in the streets. Giving birth to a new Elven people. One that knows only superiority and blood purity. "Good, you may leave. I must be alone." My advisor lowers his head and exits my office.

I stand up and head for the door leading to another part of my office, and as I open it, I see the knowledge of everything left by my ancestors. The royal library and all the questions I\'ve ever needed answered are from these bookshelves. "You don\'t know what you\'re doing... The damage that you\'ll cause..." My attention is taken from a voice identical to my own.

I turn and look into a mirror, and I see a different version of myself. One that tried to control my actions, but because of her weakness has lost everything she\'s ever loved. "Speak for yourself, Coward. I\'m doing what\'s needed. Something that you never knew how to do." Some would claim that I\'ve lost my mind, but I\'ve never been clearer.

She adopts a sad expression and looks at the locket around her neck. One that was stolen from me a long time ago. "I\'ve fallen so far... To think that there will be nothing left of the Elven Kingdom after you... I hope you rot in the deepest parts of the Underworld." Her voice shifts into hollow anger. It\'s haunting to hear a version of yourself say that.

It\'s not enough to discourage me in the slightest. She rips the locket off her neck and tosses it to the ground. Locking eyes with me again. "There is nothing more to be said. You\'ll never change. You\'re better off dead. Something that\'s coming, but you\'re too blinded to see." I take no value from her words. She closes her eyes, and she fades away.

I blink, and all I see is myself in the mirror now. Free from the constant bother of the husk of my former self.

~~~(Time: 10:23 PM)~~~

Olisandra is sleeping next to me, but I can\'t... I keep being reawoken from the same nightmare over and over again. Mom being killed on her throne, and Greshina burning like nothing ever before. A great calamity is coming to Greshina... I feel like that... They\'re just nightmares, though... Dad would always tell me to listen to my dreams... They could be insights into the future...

He and I shared a bond that I can\'t put into words. I was shattered the day he died... Not as badly as mom was... She changed after that... She became a heartless tyrant only concerned with what all nobles concern themselves with... I hope that father is looking down on us now and cheering for us to escape. He was a compassionate king...

I hoped to rule like him, but mom made sure that was never going to happen. For a long time, I agreed with her. But after seeing all the pain and death the innocent of our people suffer from I couldn\'t anymore. I couldn\'t ignore it. Running away was the best decision Olisandra, and I could\'ve ever made. It\'s our only way to a good life.

She shifts beside me, and I can only hope she isn\'t having the same nightmares as me. When we were kids, she would have the same dreams as me. We would wake up in bed, screaming for our daddy. He\'d always come rushing... I remember the first night that he didn\'t. That pain still pierces my heart, but I\'ve learned to deal with that kind of pain...
